A Calling, Not a Job

I came across Beth Macy's article "Notice What You Notice" (August/September) after a Columbia University professor passed it along to my class. I'm glad she did. It was uplifting, reminding me once more why it's important to look past the mess that is the current state of the newspaper industry.

Reading this line, "There are days when I still can't believe I get paid to drive around, talk to strangers and then write stories about what I've seen and heard, smelled and felt," gave me chills. When people ask me why I'm going into journalism, this is it. I've used a similar line before, in fact, when I tell naysayers that journalism isn't just a job, it's a calling.

I plan to save this article. It'll be handy when I'm struggling to find a story, a job or my way in today's troubled times.

If you had asked me to predict which brand would debut a new logo on its Fall 2017 runway, I wouldn't have guessed Fendi. The brand already has both an iconic logo print and logo hardware that longchamp outlet it has barely capitalized on during the recent resurgence of that look in the accessories market, but for Fall 2017, those things sit alongside the Fendi brand markers we all know and love from the 90s and mulberry replica handbags early 2000s. The new logo hardware is featured prominently on a slew of new flap bags, and it's an open circle with an F resting on its side at the bottom, as though it fell that way. The new replica designer handbags logo's best use by far is as the center of a flower made of leather petals on micro bags and bag charms, several of which made it to the runway alongside the larger bags. Fendi's Zucca logo fabric, which has long been mostly missing from the brand's bags, also figured prominently in several pieces, and now is the perfect time for it to be returning to favor among the label's bag designers.
